Participation in the Arts…

The arts are a vast subdivision of culture, composed of many artforms…usually referring only to the visual arts. The other major constituents of the arts are the literary arts, more often called literature – including poetry, novels and short stories, among others – and the performing arts, among them music, dance, magic, theatre, opera and film.

It is apparent that most Americans ‘participate’ by purchasing art. As you look through the available data, what other trends can you find? The data you have is from The U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2012 (131st Edition) Washington, DC, 2011. You can make comparisons based on gender, age, educational background and income…you can also look across the various arts categories shown. Take a moment to describe the data you have available.

Some sources indicate that 75% of Americans participate in the Arts somehow, at least once each year. This is fairly easy to calculate – using your data, calculate that percentage – how did we do in 2011?

Prepare a 1SHT for the proportion to evaluate the claim that more than 75% of Americans participate in the Arts. Older Americans are also seen to participate more often…prepare a 1SHT for the proportion to investigate if more than 75% of older Americans participate in the Arts. (it is up to you to define ‘older’) [Prepare a visual to help you] look across the categories, comment on other differences by age?

What about gender? [Prepare a visual to help you] look across the categories, are there differences by gender? Prepare a 1SHT for the proportion to examine if more females than ____ participate in sewing. (you will need to determine the appropriate reference value)

Prepare a presentation that describes how the US adult population participates in the Arts.
